Oct 15, 2019A unique Game of a kind, that revolutionize the RPGs with a level of writing rarely achieved elsewhere.
True Detective plus Bukowski meets Pixar’s Inside Out where your thoughts and psyche are your skills and they talk to you.
Just a masterpiece. -

Oct 15, 2019The most astonishing RPG of 2019. It is difficult not to fall in love in this game from the beginning. It looks great, it feels great, it tastes great. Pure masterpiece.
-
Oct 16, 2019This game is awesome. We need more such a rich RPGs. You can do in this game such a mindblowing things. You need to check it by yourself.
-
Oct 15, 2019This game has the best written dialogue since Planescape Torment. It's a crazy, unique, philosophical, hilariously funny isometric narrative RPG unlike anything you've seen since PsT came out. A strong game of the year candidate and a definite sleeper hit.
-
Oct 19, 2019Pretentious and dull, but rich in dialogue choices and so on. If money is tight, I wouldn't risk paying full price for Disco Elysium, but I can see how some people would love it.

Oct 16, 2019Clumsy controls and an ultra-slow burn. Pretentious writing and generally restrictive choices in dialogues. Another one of those titles hyped by hipsters or people who never grew up playing titles better executed.
-
Jan 29, 2020Magnificent game. Made me feel & think a lot. Can't wait for more from this developer!

Feb 4, 2020In my honest opinion, this is the best RPG game of the decade. Such a masterpiece
-
Jan 3, 2021This was simply the most incredible gaming experience I've had. It basically floored me. You have to give this a chance it's incredible.
-
Aug 5, 2020The writing is amazing and the main character is relatable. I have never laughed so hard playing a video game since Portal 2!
-
Jan 6, 2021One of the most inventive RPGs I have ever played with an engaging detective story and a very unique art style. this game definitely worth multiple playthroughs because of the variety of skills, thoughts, and conversation options.
cons:
-clumsy controls -
May 29, 2022It's a great, intelligent, funny and atmospheric role playing game. It has superb writing, a great story and characters and a pretty art style. The different skills that talk and interject into dialogue are an interesting and refreshing element to this game. Each of them and all characters are very nicely voice acted. So if you are not afraid of reading/listening a lot you should try this game.

Jul 21, 2020Absolutely masterpiece. This is the best and very “adult” game what i played for a last 20 years. This is a classic literature level

Aug 3, 2022Probably best written game I had the pleasure to play, for that alone I give it 9.
-
Jan 12, 2022Great game, definitely one of the most unique and weird rpgs I've ever played. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, but engaging characters and deep political and philosophical themes kept me engaged.

Jan 6, 2021A real RPG in which I play a role and where every dialogue matters, not boring Witcher 3

Jul 19, 2022PLAY this game if you value complex art over cheap A$$ rollercoaster that modern games are

Dec 29, 2022More an adventure than a RPG. More a book than a game. Good game but highly overrated. Check it before buying/playing. Be ready to read a lot
-
Dec 18, 2019This game is almost perfect on its premises. Of course you will see some bad reviews once and a while, but it's just a matter of taste. Like classic movies, even being overwhelmingly acclaimed, some people won't enjoy.

Feb 8, 2020This was definitely one of my best gaming experience in a very long time.
This game is incredibly well written, the gameplay is innovative, all characters are well fleshed out and have a distinct and unique personality. This was like a great book you just can't put down.
I want to thank the developers for this masterpiece: I really hope you make more of such quality level, I'll be there for it! -

Jan 31, 2020Прекрасная RPG, пример для многих ААА проектов. Видно, что разработчики подошли с усердием, поэтому и получилась замечательная игра.
-
Dec 18, 2019One of the stronger RPGs of recent years, impressive writing and depth, engaging world and characters
If you need the story and the world - just go and play, no questions asked, just do it
Although it is important to note that the ending felt lacking and unimpactful for me personally -

Jun 21, 2020I fell in love with this game. I find the main character and his POV combined with his, well, skills POV to be hilarious and always a treat to read. Specially when they get into a conversation with each other too! The story is interesting and the world is vast and fleshed out. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for a fun experience.

Dec 30, 2019The quality of writing here is miraculous. This game lets you be a part of a story rather than task you with meaningless repetitive challenges.
Invest your focus and attention into Disco Elysium - it will reward you with a compelling noir detective plot in a wacky world torn by conflicting ideologies and painful history. -

Oct 21, 2019The best-written cRPG since Planescape: Torment and the closest a cRPG has ever felt to tabletop RPG gaming to me. Its mix of humor and melancholy left me reeling after completing it. An absolute instant classic.

Oct 25, 2019It's one of the best RPG that is not a crappy AAA . The aesthetic is so pleasing and the art style is very fitting.
-
Oct 25, 2019Perfect RPG in every way, very close to a paper game. A masterpiece. Buy it, play it and enjoy!

Nov 1, 2019Amazing overall aesthetic, interesting story & characters not a whole lot to hate on to be honest. Pacing and gameplay can definitely put some off to those not used to RPGs in general. But if you like RPGs and games with story and highly detailed dialogue from interesting characters, definitely check this game out.

Dec 20, 2019This game deserves all the praise and all the awards. There is a reason why it won best narrative and best independent game of 2019. Many people love this game and would recommend it. Just give it a try
-
Nov 16, 2020Disco Elysium is...something else. Clearly a love letter for all old-school RPG and adventure games fans. Doesn't hold back, doesn't take any crap: this is storytelling at its finest. Thanks for this amazing experience. That is all.

Oct 27, 2019Best RPG I've played in years. It has easily the most engrossing writing since Planescape: Torment and it's and absolute pleasure to look at with the backgrounds looking like a painting. The music, Voice acting and general sound design are also top notch.
-
Oct 17, 2019Best game of the year - hell, it's probably the best CRPG I've ever played. Still have to finish it so I can say with certainty.
-
Oct 16, 2019Is it perfect? No, but no game - nothing, really - is. As it stands, it's a fantastic and above all refreshing experience, setting new grounds for what games for grown-ups can, and should, be.
-
Oct 28, 2019Hands down best writing since Plancescape. More important is how the game re-invents the way the writing is conveyed to the player. Truly magnificent!
-
Dec 6, 2019Very interesting and very unique game. The story is stereotypically, but plays out uniquely enough that it doesn't even feel cliche.

Dec 1, 2019My GOTY no contest. Narration is top of the line, art direction is sick, dialogue can't just be more well written. What a pleasure to play a non combat RPG. Identification to the main protagonist is immediate and oh the feels... Might play it multiple times to check different play styles :D

Jan 2, 2020Amazing game. It combines RPG elements with text based gaming to create a masterpiece. Every decision can have a consequence - this game slows you to do a LOT in terms of character build and the decisions you make.
-
Dec 25, 2019Probably the true spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment. 10/10, will play as Hobocop next time.

Nov 10, 2019The best rpg of the decade. Thanks for making it and giving us hope. 10/10.
-
Oct 30, 2019An absolutely fantastic RPG, fantastically written and with great characters and voice acting. The art style and graphics fit the game perfectly and I can't think of a better look for the game. I'm far from done with it but I still feel no problems recommending it to others.
-
Nov 11, 2019Masterpiece! And one of the best RPG-games for the last 10 years.
Yes, you can't perform a role play for chaotic-neutral dwarf, who was raised in the elf-circus in an ancient forest. But still, there are plenty of ways to entertain yourself as a police detective with heavy hangover. -

Nov 8, 2019Best rpg ever. First game since planescape torment that made such an impression on me
-
Nov 11, 2019Did you ever dream of being a hobo and a cop? Or to feel how it is to suffer from psychological disorders that can be used as skills? What would happen to you if the love of your life abandoned you at the vulnerable age of forty? Learn how your words and actions lead to consequences for both you and the people around you. This game will make you a better person. Bona-fide art.
-
Oct 19, 2019Phenomenal game. Very deep. You’ll see references to Planescape Torment and they are valid. But it’s so much more than that.

Apr 10, 2020A murder mystery set in a rich, fictional setting, Disco Elysium is told with sweeping profundity and hilarious absurdity. With no combat to impede story progression, this is a choice-driven role-playing adventure that deftly raises the bar of quality for the medium.
-
Mar 28, 2020Disco Elysium is a very special RPG that most of your time will be spent on reading. It features a well-written detective story, various tricky skill trees, and memorable characters. This game might be the best one of its kind. But if you can't stand reading for a long time, just don't try it.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 28, 2020Unconventionally conceived adventure game with excellent visuals and world worked out to the smallest detail. But it will satisfy only those of you who are not afraid of the huge amount of English dialogue, because it makes up the vast majority of gameplay. [Issue#299]
